Get your $$$ down now before the line moves... (1 Viewer)

The hit rate on these locks is about 10%. Even when I come in with a 100 star play it's destined to tank. We need to learn from this, bet the farm every time the other way and make boatloads...Seriously, somebody should track these over time. It's comical.

Ive posted 3 of these over the last 4 years, and hit every one. You know whats funny, if one of these hits, nobody posts in the thread, its only when people miss that everyone comes to celebrate.

If anyone thinks they are smarter than Vegas, you aren't.

If there is a line that you think is out of place, it isn't.

This is why I stay away from betting NFL. Every fiber of my being tells me that the Saints are going to demolish the Cards and that I should put my life savings on the Saints. And that means the Cards will cover.

I'm glad I know I'm ignorant.

In reality, the line is set where the book can take their 10% and have an even amount of money on both sides of the bet. For example the novice bettors will always bet more money at "perrenial" winners such as the Cowboys or NY Yankees. That is where their expertise comes in- knowing in advance where the betting public will put their dough. You can see this when the line changes during the week. More dramatically at a racetract before a race as the parimutual betting odds change on the take....

The Cardinals should be getting approximately 7 points against a below average to mediocre NFL team these days, but the defending champs??? I understand the Saints haven't been blowing teams out yet, but this looks like a nice "get right" game for them. I predict the Cards do not score an offensive TD and the Saints put up 30. Get in on this before the line moves off of the TD.

At least I got the "no offensive TD" part right. Sigh, I don't think I'll ever understand the intracacies of the NFL, where the defending champs can lose to a team that looks terrible the first 4 weeks of the season who hand the ball to a rookie QB to make his first ever start. The Cowboys put up 500 yards of offense and lose, where Vince Young completes less than 50% of his passes, and Chris Johnson was relatively held in check (final numbers looked good, thanks to some late 4th quarter scampering). The Chargers put up over 500 yards of offense and lose to the McFadden-less and Gradkowski-less Raiders. Alabama gets slammed by South Carolina. Did the sun at least rise in the east this morning?

No need to apologize dude. At least you had the nads to put your prediction out there. Not like some of these Mon. morning bumpers who are "Norman" Einstein after the fact. Of course, some said you were wrong beforehand so props to them, though I wonder if they would've revisited the thread if they had been wrong. I hope the Pool never gets to the point where guys refrain from putting stuff out there just because some gutless bumpers will "boldly" call them out on it after the fact.

The Cardinals are maybe the worst team in football this year.

This was a much worse prediction

Great idea!Let's all make our own wild-### prediction threads each week!It'll be fun!And by the law of averages some of them will even happen to be right!No thanks.P.S. KC over Houston next week... you heard it here first.

 

[bonesman]

this is what sports bettors refer to as a barstool pundit pick. going the otehr way on picks like this usually yields great results

So how much you throwing on the Cards then?

probly like $100.

Hope you took the $ line.

threads like this are only good if the original post actually has ANY type of analysis. not LOL cards are so bad and the siants won the super bowl last year. I and anyone else with a brain would stop coming here if there were too many of these stupid baseless prediction threads
